In full Buenos Aires campaign and in the midst of a national climate enlarged by the failure of the law of Clean filethe head of government of the City of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macrihe went strongly to make differences with both his adversaries and with former allies. In an extensive review of the political situation, the Buenos Aires president questioned the attitude of the national government, defended the management of the PRO in the city and deepened the contrasts with figures such as Leandro Santoro, Manuel Adorni and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
Clean file: suspicions
Jorge Macri was emphatic in describing as a “great frustration” the shipwreck of clean card in the Senate. “It is a project that Argentina needs. Obviously, someone did not want me to leave,” he said in a radio interview with Delta 90.3. He avoided directly holding the government directly, but questioned his lack of commitment: “If one really wants to defend a project, there are ways to do so.” He also pointed against the silence that surrounded the two Senators of missions that changed their vote at the last moment: “Isn’t it striking that everyone has angered us and not with those who turned the law? No one said anything about Rovira”
Macri also expressed his bewilderment before the position of the national ruling. “The chief of cabinet and the president of the lla block said they had the votes”, He recalled, implying that there was disorganization, or worse, a covert strategy to drop the initiative.
Pro and lla: broken relationship
These statements occur in the context of a new tension peak between the PRO and Freedom advances. Days ago, President Javier Milei accused Mauricio Macri of having sealed an alleged “impunity pact” with Cristina Kirchner To make the law of clean file fall, an affirmation that generated a very hard response of the former president.
Macri described Milei’s sayings as “a total delirium” and publicly expressed his “infinite disappointment” with the president. “It hurts deeply seeing someone we help so much, accusing without evidence to those who accompanied him in the key moments, ”he would have said in his surroundings. The fracture between the two spaces – who knew how Jorge Macri He differentiated clearly: “I want the only thing to manage the city and continue to raise solutions.”
Adorni, Santoro and Larreta
The head of the Buenos Aires government also dedicated sharp paragraphs to its main electoral rivals. About Leandro Santoro, he said: “I see him playing hiding place so that it is not noticed that it is a Kirchnerist list. It is clear that Santoro is Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.” And he sought to disable his moderate radical profile: “Radicalism is on the list of Lula Levy, not in Santoro’s.”
Nor was he indulgent with Manuel Adorni, the presidential spokesman and libertarian candidate in CABA: “I think he makes a game of nationalizing the election. It does not seem to me that he is interested in being a legislator.”
And Horacio Rodríguez Larreta located him in an ambiguous role, on the verge of partisan betrayal. “At least Patricia (Bullrich) had the honesty of saying ‘I affiliate to lla’. Horacio plays a confusion that is not good,” he launched, then clarify his legitimacy in office: “I won a step and won a general choice with 50% of the votes. This is not a monarchy.”
Austerity and proposals
In contrast to the convulsed national scene, Macri claimed the course of his administration. He stressed that the city maintains fiscal balance and explained: “Last year I lowered the expense by 8.6% and I gave down 13,000 political contracts”. Also put concrete proposals on the table, as a law for companies that hire people over 50 years of age have reduction in gross income.
Among the legislative priorities, the Antitrapitous lawwhich seeks to transform into crime the extortion of informal care. And he claimed urban actions: “Just as I gave the battle of the pickets, we lift the manteros, which seemed impossible.”
The pine and the “we”
Jorge Macri enthusiastically supported the candidacy of Silvia Lospenno for the Buenos Aires Legislature, whom he defined as “the only one who says he wants to be legislator.” In addition, he confirmed that they work together in a “Reloaded” version of the Clean Card project, this time at the local level. “I need to have more legislators, I have only 7“He warned, and expressed concern about the climate in the legislature:” I am worried that he becomes a battlefield that prevents governing. “
In a message aimed at Rodríguez Larreta’s voters, Macri requested support: “With humility but with commitment, I ask you to give us the chance to continue taking care of this city and that they vote for the people.” With a call to active vote – especially the elderly – and appealing to the historical values of the PRO, Macri closed his message with an implicit criticism of the personalist drift of some sectors: “Our party has a quality, which is the ‘us’. In Horacio I listen a lot ‘me’. No one fixes anything alone. ”The city, he said, is not a place for improvisations or ambiguities.
